Astragalus polysaccharides improve cardiomyopathy in STZ-induced diabetic mice and heterozygous (SOD2+/-) knockout mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (8), 2017
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In the present study, we determined whether the effect of astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on diabetic cardiomyopathy was associated with its impact on oxidative stress. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and ...

Inflammation and oxidative stress in heart failure: effects of exercise intensity and duration

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (9), 2017
Although acute exercise is apparently pro-inflammatory and increases oxidative stress, it can promote the necessary stress stimulus to train chronic adaptations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to compare the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the inflammatory mar...

Relationship between oxidative stress and inflammation in peripheral and cerebral system of oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats

To study what kind of role uric acid play on the relationship between oxidative Stress and inflammation in peripheral and cerebral system of oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rats. Twenty-six eight male Wistar rats were divided into two groups randomly. Potassium oxonate was used to establish hyperuricemic m...

Treadmill in Parkinson's: influence on gait, balance, BDNF and Reduced Glutathione

Fisioter. Mov. (Online); 30 (supl.1), 2017
Abstract Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by nigrostriatal degeneration, with dopaminergic depletion, and inflammatory and oxidative changes in the brain, leading to movement and coordination disorders. Recent studies have shown that treadmill training can be beneficial for these ...

Gingival crevicular fluid oxidative stress level in patients with periodontal disease and hyperlipidemia

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the impact of hyperlipidemia on healthy and diseased periodontal tissue by evaluating oxidative stress biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Clinical periodontal parameters and blood serum lipid, GCF malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PC), and total ant...

Rattlesnake Crotalus molossus nigrescens venom induces oxidative stress on human erythrocytes

Background Globally, snake envenomation is a well-known cause of death and morbidity. In many cases of snakebite, myonecrosis, dermonecrosis, hemorrhage and neurotoxicity are present. Some of these symptoms may be provoked by the envenomation itself, but others are secondary effects of the produced oxid...

Oxidative stress responses of juvenile tambaqui Colossoma macropomum after short-term anesthesia with benzocaine and MS-222

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of benzocaine and tricaine methanesulfonate on oxidative stress parameters of juvenile tambaqui tissues. Fish (n=80) were anesthetized with benzocaine (100 mg L-1) or tricaine (240 mg L-1) and two control groups were used (non-anesthetized fish and...

The effects of an experimentally induced unilateral varicose ovarian vein on the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes in an adult rat ovary

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
In this study, we aim to examine effects of an experimentally induced unilateral varicose ovarian vein on the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes in an adult rat ovary. In this experimental study, a total of 30 adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups. 10 rats in group 1 as the varic...

Anti-inflammatory effect of lycopene on endotoxin-induced uveitis in rats

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: We evaluated the efficacy of lycopene, a dietary carotenoid and potent antioxidant, against ocular inflammation and oxidative stress in an experimental uveitis model. Methods: Endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU) was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by a single subcutaneous injection of 200 ...

Efectos inflamatorios, oxidativos y aterogénicos del receptor endotelial de la lipoproteína de baja densidad oxidada-1

LOX-1 es un receptor endotelial de la familia de las lectinas. Su actividad biológica tiene un fuerte impacto en los fenómenos inflamatorios, oxidativos y aterogénicos endoteliales. Cuando se conoció el receptor de la lipoproteína de baja densidad (RLDL) y su regulación, se afirmó el papel aterog...
